In another attempt to protect its obscene profits, BIG TOBACCO is spending tens of millions of dollars to con Californians into voting against Proposition 29 on the June 2012 ballot.
The truth is Proposition 29 would only increase excise taxes by $1 per pack on cigarette purchases. It would NOT be a tax on all Californians, as BIG TOBACCO would have us believe.
And the bulk of the revenue raised from this proposed cigarette tax would support research on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and potential cures for cancer and other tobacco-related diseases.
Sounds good to me. I’m with the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, the American Heart Association, and millions of Californians who are fed up with the lies of BIG TOBACCO.
I’m voting YES on Proposition 29.

“It would NOT be a tax on all Californians, as BIG TOBACCO would have us believe.”……. Hmmmmmm
Providing that the smokers are from the Mars.
You are such a communistic moron mongoloid, Eddie Rose.
So … in your mind, all Californians smoke? You’re the one who can’t think straight for the duration of one short sentence.
“all Californians smoke?”……. Hmmmmmm
Where the “all” come from you idiot.
The smokers who reside in California are Californians unless your left liberal bigotry determined that such smokers are not protected under the California constitutional equal rights protection.
Such thinking is synonymous with communists, Nazis and liberal fascists only.
Will you read the sentence you quoted yourself, moron mongoloid? “It would NOT be a tax on all Californians, as BIG TOBACCO would have us believe.”
The tax is on Californians who smoke. Not all Californians smoke. So it is not a tax on all Californians. Is that SO difficult to grasp? Is it a Czech thing?
I don’t even know if I support this measure or not yet, but sometimes I wonder if you’re not just crazy and racist but also DUMB

[Will you read the sentence you quoted yourself, moron mongoloid? “It would NOT be a tax on all Californians, as BIG TOBACCO would have us believe.”]…….. Hmmmmm
That is Eddie Rose spin which I was referring to.
Any tax on a Californian is tax on the Californians and destruction of the California.
Extra $1 tax given to Brown to fund his union pension is dollar lost to boost the California’s economy.
People are giving up citizenship and I am thinking about it too because this country is worse than 1968 Czechoslovakian communism.
Torture, indefinite arrest without a trial, filing income tax even if you are not residing in USA is unprecedented brutality which only idiots like you can sustain.
I am glad that you are adhering to my commenting format by using the “bumper”
“People are giving up citizenship and I am thinking about it too…………………….Hmmmm……………”
I hear Ecuador has nice tax breaks for retiring “Americans”…………..
Czech it out before you tear up your visa!
